I put this photo up because it is something of a rarity.  Never before, and never since has my camera synchronized with another person's flash.  I was taking this overhead shot of this wedding ceremony and one of the guests snapped a photo with their point and shoot.  My shutter just happened to be open during the 1000th of a second that their flash was firing.  What are the odds of that?  Perhaps this is a more common occurrence among photographers who shoot in large press pools with all their cameras going at once.  Generally, when I am working I am the only photographer on the scene.
